Lion Castle, the smell of blood left behind by the brief killing gradually dissipated under the rain.

Prince Sinda went straight back to the Lion Castle after dealing with the Panir neighborhood, and the prince, who had never slept all night, was now feeling tired, tired and unable to sleep at the same time.

Today, he has insomnia.

Insomnia was a very painful thing for the prince, who was still very young.

In the lounge outside the bedroom, the prince lay alone on the sofa by his desk, looking up at the candlelit ceiling, his mind filled with what had happened in the past few hours.

"You should take a break and have a clear mind to make the right decision. Penny appeared in the lounge at some point, holding a glass of water to the prince, "Now, your decision will affect the entire empire. ”

The prince glanced at Penny, the two did not have the passionate feeling of a newlywed, because they had known each other since childhood, and they knew each other very well, and Penny's beautiful face was almost negligible to the prince.

After a brief moment of eye contact, the prince casually took the cup, and Penny stepped forward and gently massaged her husband's head.

"Now that the entire imperial capital is in chaos, I don't even know who to trust. Prince Sinda didn't drink water, he put down the glass and turned to look at his wife, "Many people are in prison because of my orders, and the nobles are blaming me, even my uncle is not on my side. ”

"You mean the people arrested by Viscount Temple?" asked Princess Penny.

"You know everything?"

"It should be said that the entire imperial capital knows about it. Princess Penny pondered for a few seconds and said, "At this time, the nobles of the entire empire are looking at you, and one of your expressions will be infinitely amplified by them, let alone such a large-scale arrest... While I'm tempted to say that you must have good reasons to do so, you may be doing something wrong. ”

Prince Sinda shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Some people in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are preparing to gather an army to attack Suke City, and those who are arrested are their internal responses. ”

"Well," said Princess Penny, with a hint of surprise on her face, "who told you this? Viscount Temple, or Count Stu?"

"Viscount Temple, the arrest list is from him. ”

"Do you think that's true?" Princess Penny's slender fingers rested on her husband's shoulder.

"Does it matter if it's true or not?" asked the prince rhetorically.

Princess Penny was stunned, and after a few seconds of silence, she whispered: "I can't distinguish the truth from the fake, but at this moment, this matter must be true!"

"What do you want to say?" the prince's heart sank.

"Everybody fantasizes about being able to take your place, but that doesn't mean they're going to put it into action... Those people in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are not stupid, they may have thought of using force to resolve the conflict with the traditional nobles, but they can only think about it and dare not take action!" Princess Penny looked at her husband's side, and her tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "But now, Viscount Temple's arrest has just pushed them against you..."

Prince Sinda staggered, shook off Penny's massaging hand, and said in a slightly indifferent tone: "Your tone is the same as that of Duke Eric, do you also think I am stupid?

The young prince knew very well what his wife was reminding him, and Duke Eric had reminded him a few hours before.

But what Penny and Duke Eric don't know is that Count Stu and Viscount Demptop are less than one-tenth as dangerous in the prince's mind as Duke Nick!

The young prince, who had just inherited the reign from his father, simply had no way to trust Duke Nick as much as Emperor Laubert. What's more, now almost the entire empire's military power is in the hands of the Reagan family!

Therefore, Prince Sinda longed from the bottom of his heart to use other forces, and Count Stu and Viscount Dempto were now the most important candidates.

For these reasons, Prince Sinda will subconsciously rebel after hearing the words of his wife and Duke Eric.

Penny was smart, she knew the Viscount's husband, she had known it since she was a child, and she knew what the problem was immediately when she saw his reaction now.

So, she became silent.

She could only be silent.

But Prince Sinda was not silent, he suddenly turned his head to look at his wife, "You say, if the merchants really gather a large army to attack Suke City, will Duke Nick come to help?"

"This is the duty of the father, and it is also his obligation, of course, you can also give him orders directly, this is your right. Penny and her husband looked at each other, "Neither my brother nor my father can sit idly by and watch the city of Suke besieged by the rebels. ”

"Haha!" Prince Sinda laughed suddenly, "Can I trust them?"

"Beloved, you should not doubt their loyalty. Penny frowned.

"I trust them, my dear, but I don't know if they will trust me. Prince Sinda stretched out his right hand and held his wife's hand and said, "Well... What I'm trying to say is... You should know Duke Eric's past, he was able to imprison even his own father. ”

"That's because of the brutality of the puppet emperor! dear, it was the brutality of the puppet emperor that made the nobles of the empire no longer trust him and rebel against him, and Duke Eric even imprisoned his father to overthrow his rule, then everything was brought on by him. Penny shook her husband's hand, "A wise ruler knows how to make his subjects trust him and serve him willingly. ”

"But my father told me that you can't rule the nations by trust alone. Prince Sinda suddenly turned his head and pulled out his right hand, which was holding his wife, and pulled out a decree from the document next to him, "My father told me that the emperor needs the courage to face the gods and the determination to raise the butcher's knife! ”

"It's your right. Penny stared at the order on her desk, which was to send the 3rd and 5th Legions of Kwen back to the Imperial Capital, and she took a deep breath and said, "But you must distinguish between enemies and allies, otherwise, your butcher's knife will only put you in a deep siege." ”

"I know exactly what I'm doing. Prince Sinda replied.

"You..."

"I'm a little tired, you help me hand this letter to Duke Eric. Prince Sinda stood up as he spoke, "If you have time, you can write to Duke Nick about the situation in the imperial capital." ”

"I never talked to my father about the politics of the Empire. ”

Prince Sinda smiled slightly, "But now it's different, your current princess of the empire will soon become the queen of the empire." ”

"Well, I'll write a letter to my father as a princess. ”
